What to Focus On

  • Picture composition is based on observation and imagination.
  • The response is subjective and personal.
  • The picture may be the central theme or a clue.

  • Observe characters, surroundings, ambience, and feelings evoked.
  • Plan the draft after careful observation.
  • Choose the form: story, narrative, or description.

  • Keep a direct and clear connection with the picture.
  • Refer to visible elements in the composition.
  • Do not write a disconnected or unrelated composition.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A picture composition means describing everything visible in the picture in a plain, literal way.

Any creative story is acceptable, even if it has almost no link to the picture.

The writer should only mention the obvious objects in the picture and ignore feelings, mood, or inner response.
